SINOSSI

Alan Yentob concludes his profile of the author by examining his troubled later years. He continues his train journey across Russia, visiting locations depicted in the novel Anna Karenina, and tells the story of how Tolstoy sought out spiritual enlightenment at a grand monastery. Using rare film of the novelist, Yentob charts how this quest eventually drove Tolstoy to turn his back on his career, home and wife. Featuring contributions by biographers AN Wilson and Rosamund Bartlett.
